The necessity of higher education is a developing issue that contributes to the high

unemployment rate in today's society. The majority of people from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds cannot afford to pursue higher education at college or university. Because of the
high cost of education in the Philippines, many people can only make it through elementary or
high school. Public education is widely available throughout the provinces; however, it often only
offers up to high school. Most of the country's universities and colleges are situated in Manila, a
costly metropolis where many students cannot afford to stay for an extended period, considering
they must do so to complete their degrees. Thus, providing educational opportunities for people
in the area of Barangay Mascap allows them to be able to have access to quality education that
would benefit them in finding a career that not only focuses on being a tour guide– which is the
primary occupation in the area related to the tourism industry. People will be able to put their
skills and talents to good use if they are given the opportunity to expand their education and
acquire a degree or even a certification– accrediting that they have accomplished an ample
amount of time dedicated to training and learning. With this opportunity at hand, locals will be
able to pursue whatever profession they desire.
